Uri is bored. So, he and
his grandmother walked to the beach, and enjoyed a seltzer soda. Soon they saw
men walking and carrying funny shaped cases. Uri followed his grandmother who followed
the men. Soon others began to follow and a crowd was building. The final
destination was a big auditorium. The men with the cases set up on stage and
the music began with Mr. Huberman. Uri’s grandmother knew him. This was the
beginning of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

This true story is based on
events during the rise of the Nazis and the expulsion of Jewish musicians from
German orchestras. The orchestra was founded by Bronislaw Huberman, a Polish
Jew who was a musical prodigy. Parents and teachers will find this story
engaging and readers will admire the history that is shared. Black and white
photos of the orchestra are shared in the back pages of this book.
